when fashion hurts

I am a firm believer in the power of fashion. Don’t believe me? Watch She’s All That: a simple tight red dress (and contacts) transforms Rachel Lee Cook from a nerd to someone Freddie Prinze Jr. could actually love.

However, there are some fashions that are not meant to be: hot pants, dickies, most anything donned by Lil’ Kim.

This list of fashion faux pas has been generally benign until now.

The “Stop Snitching” fashion line is designed to scare would-be witnesses from coming forward. The “Stop Snitching” movement extends to murder, robbery, and rape.

classical values

Sixty Minutes recently did a story regarding this “movement,” interviewing rapper Cam'ron (artist of such classics as A Pimp's A Pimp and Where The Fuck You At). Cam’ron tells Anderson Cooper that if a serial killer moved in next door to him, he "wouldn't call and tell anybody on him. But I'd probably move… But I'm not gonna call and be like, you know, 'The serial killer's in 4E.'"

This seems counter productive to a safe and healthy society.
